Their teacher was trying to keep them in line. Tom looked around but there was no place for him to sit.He walked into the station cafe. He looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down before a large mirror on the wall. Just then, Mike, one of Tom’s workmates, came in and sat with Tom.Dear Kate,Thank you so much for inviting me!

The train arrived late that dayCThinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical(批判性的) thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes（过程）. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.The word “critical” here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen--beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are interested in life and want to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning（推理）are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today’s world: fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure（尺度）of intelligence（智慧）, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein. Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately made Hoffman feel comfortable by saying, “Please go slowly. I don’t understand things quickly.”54. Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically, _______.A. it will be hard for us to think naturally and fastB. we might be controlled by other people’s ideasC. we will follow the ideas of others naturallyD. we might be fooled by other people’s ideas55. If you are a critical thinker, you will ________.A. take one view against another viewB. trust the reports in the newspapersC. think deeply about different ideasD. criticize other people for their mistakes56. In the last paragraph, “something new” suggests that ________.A. speed can improve intelligenceB. intelligence is not decided by speedC. the smarter you are, the faster you do thingsD. the faster you do things, the smarter you becomeDWhat's your dream vacation? Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to visit the world. So we visit travel companies, compare prices, and pay our money.We know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? It's true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local(本地的) people more than it helps them.It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas(佛塔) in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.Tourism might also cost the local people their jobs and dignity(尊严). Local workers often find only low-paying jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the money do not help the local economy（经济）. Instead, money return to the tour operators in richer countries, When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to poor places of the city. Others now make a little money selling things or acting for photos.Problems like these were noticed more than 20 years ago. But now tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure.The result is “ethical（合乎职业道德的）tourism”. Ethical tourism has people at its heart. New international agreements and rules can help protect the people's lands, homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex(复杂的).But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn the money they should get.They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotel, restaurants and guide services. They can share some money to help the local economy. And they can help the local people plan and manage tourism.What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of localpeople. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while we're abroad, we can:Buy local foods and products.Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.Ask before taking photographs of people.They are not just part of the scenery!Let's enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too.57. Which of the following is not mentioned?A. Local people protected the pagodas in Bagan well.B. Tourists may stay in hotels opened by local people.C. Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work.D. Tourists had better not bargain with local people for a cheap price.58.

According to the passage, the writer thinks___________.A. tourism is not a promising industryB. dream vacations should be spent abroadC. the problems caused by tourism are easy to settleD. tourists should respect local customs and cultures60. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Tourism Causes Bad Effects.B. Tourism Calls for Good Behavior.C. Vacations Bring a Lot of Fun.D.
